“Rooms 4 - 6 (maybe also 7) all have high-level sea views. There is a quirky 2-person lift to get you there! Family Room 4 has a double + 2 single beds in adjoining room with TWO loos and a shower over the bath!” (gdenbyUK)

needs decorating and some TLC. Dogs allowed in the bar /dining area which is ok unless you are allergic to them. People are eating in the same area. Food was served on hot plates which is good and was reasonably priced

Another enjoyable stay at the Commodore.Have stayed on numerous occasions provides good value,good affordable food and above all friendly helpful staff.Ideal location for Beaches and Costal walks.Thank you!!!!

Stayed for weekend break in early February.Very clean room with stunning views.All facilities needed were provided.Breakfast of a very high standard.Good location for walking along beach in either direction.Safe area and well lit. Staff very efficient.Could not wish for anything more.Highly recommended.

stayed overnight while visiting some friends for a birthday party. Staff were very friendly and helpful, Breakfast was great, Definitely be staying here again when I return later in the year.
Lovely views from the room we stayed in. Not too far from local shopping etc.

Friendly staff we use commodore a lot when on special offer. Not good value other wise. Rooms and plumbing tired to say the least. Pub good atmosphere. Parking can be an issue. But we get on well with staff and they are always welcoming.

We came here on New years eve as it was local and wasnt charging stupid amounts to get in. The place is beautifully located with excellent views and the drinks arent overpriced. The atmosphere was electric all night with fantastic entertainment by a local duo who were happy to play requests and were outstanding. There was a lovely buffet laid...

Justin (the new landlord) is running a very happy ship here. Everyone's smiling again, the service is excellent and the food is great value for money and better than other pub chains. they seem to put an extra effort in. Try the Chicken sizzler with tortillas, tastes as good as it smells, and wow the Ultimate Burger is fantastic! Wine...

Booked an overnight stay & was pleasantly surprised. It is a pub/restaurant with rooms, right on the beach front, with limited parking. Though dated the accommodation is clean & comfortable. Room was very warm. Excellent service, very good food, friendly staff. . My thanks to Richard, Justin & Raquel

Booked 3 nights here at short notice due to a family bereavement. I was a bit unsure having read some reviews but decided to take a chance due to the good value offered and am very glad I did. The accommodation is dated but clean and comfortable. The bar and restaurant are excellent and the service is superb. We were...

A brief overnight (winter) stay whilst visiting family nearby. It was clean, cosy and warm with a filling full English breakfast. Some recent refurshment is evident. We obtained a bargain rate for a Sunday night through booking.com with just two week's notice. We could not have asked for more. They also appear to have some bargain rates for set Christmas...

The Commodore Hotel Southbourne near Bournemouth is on the Dorset cliff tops at Southbourne adjacent to the cliff lifts and Fisherman's Walk with easy access from the A31 and A338. The spectacular views across Poole bay take in Swanage to the West and Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight to the East. The Commodores location, close to the New Forest, and Bournemouth town centre, makes it an ideal base from which to explore Hampshire and Dorset. The Commodore was built in 1928 and was originally called Crawford's Tea Rooms. In the war it was used to house serving American airmen. In the early 50's an extension was added and it became Crawford's Bar and Hotel. Not long after that, it became The Commodore Hotel. A very popular holiday location. There is limited car parking provided by the hotel but ample on-street car parking within a few minutes walk....more less
